Farm . Garden and : Orchard HETTY GREEN AS A FARMER . UP in Venniont there is a very beautiful • country place where Mrs . Hetty Green goes every summer with her husband and her daughter . Were you to meet her any day walking along the road with a pail of berries or coming in from the gardens with / a basket of tomatoes-you would judge her to be the happy wife of a well-to-do farmer .

Jr \ That hideous and deathly ¦ z-s * ( Ifcs * demon of sickness—constipation , is an easy enough thing to cure if you take the right- medicine . Constipation is one of the commonest things in the world . It is really one of the most serious things . Fully nine-tenths of all the ordinary sickness of mankind is due to this , one cause . If you place an obsruc- , tion in the gutter , it will stop the . flow of water , and gradually a mass of poisonous , putrefying matter will accumulate . That is exactly what happens in th « digestive organs when constipation begins . Poisonous matter accumulates and . is forced into the blood . Tt goes all over the body and causes all sorts of symptoms . A few of these are dizziness , flatulence , heartburn , palpitation , headaches , loss of appetite , loss of sleep , foul breath , distress after eating , biliousness and eruptions of the skin . These things are unpleasant , but they are not serious . The serious things come afterward . Doctor Pierce...

NEWS COM / HENTS Emperor Billy has made a complete back-down . The threatening attitude of Grandma s slipper was evidently too much for his valor . ,, The republicans in Congress have decided to wait , 1 says a republican organ : yes , wait and turn their backs while the goldbug syndicates and combinations rob the till . Senator Hoar says the populist party will come into power simultaneously with the advent of the millenium . It is remarkable that the astute republican senator should couple these two together . It cost the United States government more to place the late bond issue of $ 62 , 000 , 000 than the Lincoln administration paid to float the entire debt of $ 2 , 500 , 000 , 000 , and yet the Morgan Syndicate posed as a sort of charitable institution ) which saved the country from ruin . The i-cent copper coin of the United States is enjoying an increased popular demand . It is a significant fact that the coinage of this piece has of very recent years taken up more of the ti...

Herds , Flocks and Dairy A VALUABLE STOCK BOOK . THE mule is one of the best paying animals the farmer can raise . Too little • Attention has been given this branch of animal husbandry , still less to the style , character and breeding of the sire used .

It has an interesting description of the . different breeds of jacks , writte...

HOGS FOR 1896-7 . THE average farmer acts before lie thinks seriously . He is serious enough at the present time . The lowprices of pork , corn , bats , etc ., are , a disturbance to . financial ascendancy ., He concludes that hogs dont pay , from a view of the past season , and neglects to plan for the coming season . It is not remembered that the average . values of pork for any five consecutive years , always show a fair average profit , it is forgotten , too , that two successive seasons of low prices seldom occur in the hog markets . The hog grower too often counts the entire value of his product as corn or oats entirely . The value of the raw grain is often found to equal the same apparent quantity of grain in the net form of pork . No account is taken , at times , of vegetables , pasturage , and other items of food that enter into the consumption of the pork as it is most safely produced . The hog is healthier from a mixed diet . This should always include grazing , or in lie...
